Today, I would like to introduce you to a gadget not often used by modern society, yet it is the greatest invention ever made.
Drum roll ... ... ...
No kitchen should be without it. Imagine you are busily cooking and stirring from one pot to another and you want to place your spoon somewhere. You can't put it on the table, it will leave sauce or food all over the place. You can't throw it in the sink and pick up another spoon. It will add to the washing up afterwards. What do you do?
You use the spoon rest. No chef should be without one; or more than one. A spoon rest for every spoon you use in the kitchen whilst cooking.
Do you know that before spoon rests were invented people used to put their spoons behind their ears like a pencil. Hardly hygienic is it? Or they used to put the spoon in their top jacket pocket. Imagine the mess on their best woollen or Burberry suits.
The answer to that everlasting culinary dilemma is to have a spoon rest at hand. Or more than one.
They come in various colours and materials - porcelain, steel, wood, plastic and even gold-plated silver.
No self-respecting chef or cook should be without one.
Buy a spoon rest now and may your spoons rest in peace.
...how can we live without it?
ReplyDeleteI agree Tom. We now have at least a dozen spoon rests. One in every room. We use them to rest our spoons, car keys, spectacles, USB sticks, postage stamps, spare coins, sweets and candies, and many other things. A spoon rest for every occasion. We even have a large spoon rest where we place all the other unused spoon rests.
DeleteGod bless.
Yes, we have a spoon rest in our kitchen, Victor, but it's primarily used by Danny to rest his coffee spoon once he adds cream and sugar to his cup. He's still a great cook! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI knew it ... all great cooks have a spoon rest. Danny has one!
DeleteGod bless you and Danny, Martha.
We have had plenty of them, but now, in this place - we found we could live without them.
ReplyDeleteSpoon rests are the greatest invention since they invented the wheel; or the second wheel also; because then they had a bicycle!
DeleteGod bless, Sandie.
Why did I never know of this invention until now? Finally, I can put these spoons down!
ReplyDeletePeople have forgotten about spoon rests, Sandi. They just got out of fashion. Buy one and your life will be much improved.
DeleteGod bless.
I had one at one time but don't know what happened to it. I just put my spoon down on the counter.
ReplyDeletePutting your spoons on the counter will make the counter dirty with food; besides, shops are too far away from home to go there and put your spoons on.
DeleteGod bless, K.
Yes a spoon rest in the kitchen is very handy :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I've no idea what happened to our spoon rest. I've found a scrap of paper towels does the job just fine; and unlike the spoon rest, requires no washing.
